ABOUT THE ISLAMIC ECONOMY AWARD
The Islamic Economy Award was launched in 2013 under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and directed by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council.
Now in its third year, the annual award recognises business initiatives and ideas that have contributed to the social and economic welfare of the Muslim population. These initiatives and ideas must prove to enhance bilateral trade and investment relations between Islamic nations and forge closer economic ties with the rest of the world towards fostering prosperity, harmony and well-being for all.
The Lifetime Achievement Award recognises an outstanding and influential business leader who demonstrates inspired leadership and who has made a significant impact on the Islamic economy.
The Award is managed independently by Thomson Reuters, audited by Deloitte, and adjudicated by a judges’ panel based on formal, established criteria.
